As reported by Hindustan Times, the heaps of construction debris and household waste emit a foul stench and attract flies, creating health risks for the locality. The executive officer of Zirakpur municipal council, Parvinder Singh Bhatti, attributed the garbage accumulation to an ongoing strike by sanitation workers.
